I don't exactly want advice, and I'm not here to pour out issues, I was just wondering if there are any other autistic 21-22 year olds in my position for me to connect with because I feel out of touch with people my own age often. They are all often in college, in committed relationships, if not married with children, and that's not my story. I was homeschooled my whole life and never set foot in school, I still live with my parents atm and haven't started college [though I have plans to, hopefully], and have never even dated let alone married etc etc. I just don't have most of the life experience you'd expect someone my age to have or I see people my age talking about. The amount of life experience I have is comparable to maybe a 16-year-old as opposed to a 21-22 year old. I also tend to have interests you'd expect a middle schooler to have [I'm still into a lot of cartoons, made, I still love Warrior Cats, and 99% of my writing is similarly epic dramas about cats and written from a cat's perspective instead of humans]. All in all despite being 22-21 I've always felt a huge gap in experience/maybe maturity between me and others my age. Am I the only 22-21 year old whose been feeling out of place in this way have experiences all similar to the ones I mentioned?
